Christmas Brunch in Lieu of Dinner

I have decided to have a Christmas Brunch rather than a dinner. This is against long standing tradition, but I am going to do it. Following is my menu so far; I am wondering if any of you have comments or recommendations other than that shown. Any comments are welcome.

Is this a vegetarian brunch or an omnivore brunch? If the latter, why not add some sausage or bacon? Of course the recipe boyzoma linked to would add meat to the menu, albeit not in unadorned form. Otherwise it sounds great.

Since it is Christmas and you are bucking years of tradition, you want the meal to be a huge success, with plenty of choices. I like what you have chosen to serve but I would offer a broader selection, more of a Smorgasbord. I love the idea of a platter of sausages or smoked salmon and bagels, or some other bread as an alternative to your sweet pastry. Maybe serve a sweet, creamy cheese to go with your fresh fruit, like goat Brie or Humboldt Fog or a bowl of Greek yogurt. Another great brunch dish, that is made the night before and popped into the oven, is baked French toast. It can be eaten warm or at room temp and it is always a crowd pleaser. Good luck!

I think bagels are a better option than English muffins because they don't have to be toasted and kept warm. I do something similar to this a few times a year. I'm always amazed how quickly the bacon and sausage get gobbled up.
